If
you're visiting our site for the first time, we offer
this page as a brief explanation of what the Knife
Network™ is, and what it has to offer you during
your visit. We'll cover this with a brief description
of the main elements of our site:
Main Site Features:
- News and Headlines
As you navigate our site, you'll notice many links
to news and headline information. As we receive
newsworthy intel from around the industry, new
product and prototype first looks, special show
information and other leading news, we'll be using
these areas to update our site with the
articles and their archives. To see current news,
the first and second links at the top of all KnifeNetwork.com
pages will help you locate these quickly.
- Classified Knife and Supply Listings
To see our member posted knife and supply listings,
click the Classifieds link
to open our member inventory database. Within this
area,
you can search and locate any type of knife or
supply within our market. You also have the ability
to
search by maker, manufacturer and selling dealer.
The Knife Network™ maintains a quality
rating and forum feedback system for all buying
and selling
members. We provide this community management system
to insure positive sales results between all parties.
Selling members on the Knife Network are "Authorized
Selling Members" and maintain a current listing
access and posting account. We
do not allow anonymous visitors to place items
for
sale
on
our classified
listings
system.
- Industry Profiles
Organized by factory or custom, maker or dealer,
you can navigate our deep industry profile system
through links on this site. This contains
biographical information about the member of this
community, samples of their work, links to their
personal contact system and personal events calendar
data. You can also do a search for news,
forum posts, image posts, web site previews,
classified
items
and other valuable information.
-
Events Calendar System
We provide a very unique events calendar system on
the Knife Network for our members to post their personal
knife and gun show schedule information, including
automated events notices. These are
very
handy in
that they will help you quickly locate when and where
a maker, manufacture or dealer will be located at
the upcoming shows and events. These are printable
and offer directions to the shows and events.
Major Events :: We will
be collecting pre-announced, as well as many post
reports about
major events in
our industry. These will be used to continually update
our ongoing Events Spotlight sections
of our site.
- Workshop & Tutorials
Our workshop section contains the tutorials and how-to
articles submitted by our community members. You
can learn valuable knife making, collecting and
care information through this information source.
- Publications and Lists
For those visitors who would like to receive printed
materials from our community of dealers, manufacturers,
suppliers and makers, we provide
the free Knife Network catalog subscription system
for your use. We also
have a Knife Network
e-mail list management
system which is used for online dissemination of
first-look content, prototype announcements, private
sale notifications and more. This is not spam ...
only pre-authorized and limited information will
be sent through this list. Immediate automated unsubscribe's
will be honored and documented.
- Network Search
No other site on the web offers this powerful knife
industry search system! Over 500+ authorized member
